I am not a mega fat, but I sometimes eat fast food too much. I managed to stop again so my weight will go back down quickly. I know it's a lame but sometimes I will get agitated and while driving it's easy to redirect that focus on your hunger and then satiate it with food, and driving means fast food I drive alot for work. Any ways I already put on a lot of weight so it'll be about 6 months to go back to a healthy weight. It's hard because food is a drug, you consume it and the chemicals in your body release endorphins to reward you and train your neurons for finding food. But it's so easy to throw that out of whack as a human when you have basically unlimited access to food in the world. Even African children are 70 quadrillion times less likely to starve to death compared to some shitty non humanoid animal. It's difficult in some ways because unlike quitting other habits like smoking, or some other behavior, you can't just stop eating completely; to remove yourself from the element of it entirely. Like you would rather get rid of all niggers who live around you, not just let a few in selectively. I have fluctuations in weigh from my behavior swings frequently, and I was taught how to eat well.
I was a very normal weight until highschool where I started gaining weight until senior year where I think I was 5'11 and 235 lbs. Then I was 250 and 6ft when I was 21 and then I brought it back down to 200 until about six months ago and now I have put on like 40 pounds. I know I can lose it quickly again but I don't know why I keep pulling myself into this pattern. Maybe this time I can stop. I like to browse this sub and appreciate the fitness forums shitting on fatties. I fucking hate this stupid nonsense about being healthy when you weigh 500lbs and sleep with a CPAP and have diabetus. There is a fucking diabetes supply shop in my town, in fact a few I shit you not. There's enough fats here for there to be fucking specialty diabetes shops. And it's gross.
Sometimes, I go to Walmart to buy something for cheap. I know I shouldn't but I do it anyways because you can only live for so long and I already wasted enough time writing this post, so I don't worry it. The people I see there are fucking fats like I could walk through there with a camera and have enough content for this whole sub to last month and it's really gross. And yeah it fat city. I will be ready for the next season of summer.

and hfcs, the cornerstone of american food, is even worse than sugar

HFCS is a very refined form of sugar that comes from corn, and it is indeed a lot worse for you then sugar refined from cane or beets. Basically because of the 'high fructose' part. Sugar is usually fairly evenly divided into 'fructose' and 'glucose', and the body metabolises the different parts of sugar differently. I can't remember the specifics, only that I think if I remember correctly, fructose requires high amounts of fibre to be properly metabolised, otherwise it puts stress on the liver as it is quite toxic and needs to be gotten rid of, hence why 25% of Americans are suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which leads to cirrhosis (like in alcoholics), and liver cancer. Fructose is what constitutes most of the sugar in fruits, however when you eat fresh fruit, you're also getting the fibre you need from the fruit to metabolise the fructose. If you are eating straight HFCS in food without the fibre, then that's when you have a problem. More or less, the more refined that sugar is, the worse it's going to be for you.
Since I'm Australian, HFCS isn't as commonly used here as in the states. We rely mostly on cane sugar because that's what grows here and is the cheapest to produce in Australia. But certainly I see it on labels from overseas products here. In that way, I suppose I'm getting the lesser of two evils XD
